The New Alfa Romeo Mito debuted at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The model is reasserting itself in many ways, san antonio car wreck attorney, while maintaining its position as small sports car capable of winning over customers attracted by its Italian style and technical excellence offering maximum driving satisfaction in total safety. Sold across Europe from the second half of the year and targeting a young, dynamic clientele, the New Mito revamped its looks by presenting an unprecedented grille and a strong family resemblance to the captivating Giulia. Additionally, after débuting on the Giulia, the refreshed brand logo and new name lettering are affixed to the compact Alfa Romeo for the first time. An additional affinity with the Giulia model is range rationalisation. The line-up now includes three trim levels (Mito, Super and Veloce) and two specific packs (Veloce and Lusso). Nine body colours, including the brand-new pastel white, and no fewer than eight different alloy wheels (including three new 16", 17" and 18" patterns),complete a line-up that will allow customers to pick the version of the New Mito most suited to their inclinations and needs. Additionally, depending on the trim levels and on the country of purchase, specific packs are available (Style, Comfort and Visibility) that group together the most popular equipment, for significant savings. There are news in terms of engine versions too, with the unprecedented 95 HP 1.3 MultiJet which stands out for its brilliant temperament, high fuel economy and low emissions. All this without compromising on performance: 180 km/h top speed and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds. The extensive line-up is thus supplemented, already featuring the 78 HP 1.4-litre engine, the 140 HP or 170 HP 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo petrol engines (both with TCT automatic transmission), the 105 HP 0.9-litre Turbo TwinAir and the 120 HP 1.4-litre LPG Turbo. The first Mito trim level stands out for the new nose embellished by headlights with burnished surrounds, satin door handles, 16" wheels and body colour mirror caps. Inside, the dark sports ambience is reasserted by the new black fabric seats, sporting the Alfa Romeo badge on the head restraints, and the steering wheel with the refreshed Alfa Romeo symbol in the centre. The refreshed style elements are accompanied by comprehensive standard equipment which includes manual climate control, 7 airbags, Alfa DNA selector (with Q2 electronic differential and DST) and the ESC system (with ASR and Hill Holder). The Super trim level is packed with even more contents, and in addition to the already generous standard equipment supplied with the first trim levels, it includes: 16" alloy wheels, satin mirror caps, cruise control, Uconnect infotainment system with 5" touchscreen and new Anthracite grey fabric and black eco-leather seats with matching stitching with the Alfa Romeo logo printed on the front head restraints.

Other interesting features include the dedicated external badge, tinted rear windows, new headlights with carbon look and glossy black finish on mirror caps, handles, headlight surrounds and grille finish.
